CAST OVERVIEW:  4 Women.

NANCY WHEATON (appears 60s) The oldest and most accommodating member of the group. She holds the group together for the most part and makes sure everyone stays in touch.

RUTH SAUNDERS (appears 60s) A mouth like a sailor, and a bit crotchety, but has a heart of gold. She’s a take charge kind of gal…the Facilitator.

SANDY EASTMAN (appears 60s) The youngest. She’s got ***** (which is something you only say of an older person!) Unlike the others, she’s still working at her real estate firm and so she’s always a little distracted and a little behind.

MARY COLOGNE (appears 60s) The instigator of the group. Likely to get them in trouble or present them with problems, but always with the best intentions. She’ll be the first to volunteer them all for soup kitchen duty on Thanksgiving, and a retired nurse who still volunteers at the hospital. She is also the lady who brings a little baby with her.

SYNOPSIS:

When four college friends, now in their sixties, discover that one of them has been “gifted” with an abandoned baby, they try to figure out what’s next; for the mother, for the baby, and for the four of them. Through their research, the ladies discover that the child (still with no name) could be adopted, even by women of their age, but that adoption agencies are more likely to grant adoption to married couples. They decide that two of them will get married! This character-driven comedy with some bawdy language has an interesting twist at the end!

 “So many heartfelt thoughts here - the longing to take ultimate responsibility for one other (small) person - the needing to be needed - the warm and relatable dialogue on the required energy and sacrifices of motherhood. It's all So there. And the TV dating game is a hoot. Lovely, charming and uplifting.”
